Our skin is the largest organ of our bodies and research has also shown that chemicals can be absorbed through it very easily. These can reach the blood vessels below the skin and travel round the body.

Unfortunately some of the products that you use most to cleanse and moisturize your skin, also to paint your nails, contain harsh synthetic substances. Although some of these substances effects are unknown, others are known to be toxic. This could lead to health problems, some quite serious.

Going green with your beauty spa treatments will help you reduce your “toxic load” — the amount of synthetic chemicals you put into your body. And it’s easier than you may think.
